FASHION & ACCESSORIES

Despite what your banker may say, Haute Couture pieces, iconic bags, and designer dresses are in high demand at auctions. You no longer have to feel guilty about buying these collector's items or vintage luxury articles from the most famous fashion houses because they have become a real investment for an international clientele. Also, nowadays, second-hand luxury items interst the heritage departments of major luxury fashion houses as well as museums looking to invest in the fashion industry.
 

 

CHANEL, HERMÈS, DIOR, AND MANY MORE... BIG NAMES AND HOUSES, FOR ITEMS WITH STORIES.

We regularly organize auctions dedicated to these fascinating pieces. It's a very dynamic ecosystem, things move quickly, and prices can quickly skyrocket. Do you have Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Saint Laurent, Gucci, Comme des Garçons, Alaïa, Hermès filling up your closet? (Lucky you...) Whether you have a luxury clothing collection or simply own branded bags or accessories, let's review their value together – you might be surprised. And because a piece of jewelry always completes an outfit, we also focus on Haute Couture jewelry from designers like Baretti, Gripoix, Goossens, Chanel, Balenciaga, Dior, Lanvin, or Hervé Van der Straeten.

Believe us—fashion is worth it!
Let’s assess the value of your pieces together.

We recently made auction history with the exceptional sale of a Martin Margiela collection, which totaled €1,889,000 at an auction held on Monday, January 27, 2025. This record-breaking result marks the highest fashion sale ever achieved in France, further proving that fashion it’s a true investment.

Twice a year, our house partners with Kerry Taylor Auctions, the world’s leading auction house specializing in fashion, based in London. Together, we organize landmark sales and offer a bespoke service to our European clients—whether they are newcomers or seasoned collectors, buyers or sellers.
